I just think "I am still hungry from an inadequate lunch". :-(

I want to go and look at Megaliths with DDBs like it's 2003 again. :-(

Maybe I should learn how to drive, then I could go by myself, and not wait for a passing archeologist to drive me.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

They should have special bus stops where you could go and wait for passing archaeologists to come by.

When Ed comes back, I am going to try to convince him that Shimura Curves should do a Megalith searching field trip.

Julian Cope will sue for stealing his idea.

Wired for Mono are dirty drone rock boys in disguise and "A Harbour an Anchor" is the loudest thing NME has heard in a dog’s age. ...

hello! NEW BIKE NEW BIKE!! omg it is GORGEOUS. er i haven't had a go on it yet though.

― emsk, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Googling for DDBs only brings up ILX and Shimura Curves. :-(

Did Julian Cope invent megaliths? I DON'T THINK SO!!! Did he invent DDB's? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

x-post that is Doomie, who stole my phrase and tried to use it to describe lame Poptones bands. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

Julian Cope invented Krautrock AND megaliths... apparently

― Tom D., Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

I'm trying to remember what Joe used to say... oh yeah, Julian Cope was ripping off HIM because his granddad was writing about megaliths YEARS ago... etc. etc.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

Alfred Watkins?

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

I am listening to Holy McGrail again - he has the same kind of Korg as Frances!

I wish someone had taken pictures at the NOTLS show. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

I am so bored I feel like my brain is melting and dripping out my ear onto my shirt. What should I have for a snack? I suppose I should just go upstairs and see what they have in the machine. Even re-reading the Dirty Dronerock Boys thread didn't do it for me. Sigh.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Waiting for the shuttle and playing the tamburlin in the car in the sunshine, nice.

I will do megalith field trips.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

I want to hear more about Emsk's rocking new bike. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

I certainly hope it does not rock, that would make it hard to ride.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

from i love to ride my bicycle:

I AM TEH LUCKIEST GURL
look what my lovely uncle sent me:

Would you like my Woodrup touring bike. It?s the one I had custom made by a shop in Leeds a few years ago, so its unique: designed by me built by Maurice, the only one in the world. It is slightly too big for you, but not outlandish. The only bit you would probably notice is the long reach to handlebars. If you are reasonably bendy this won?t be a problem, except possibly on long descents where your neck and shoulders might ache from being overstretched. You could also fit a shorter stem which would solve some of the problem. The bike is generally a couple of grades up from the one you currently have, with a much better frame and some smoother components. You would find long rides and hills in particular quite a bit less work. The downside is that It has ?Steve's Bike, Hands off? embossed onto the frame.

and now it is MINE ALL MINE

― emsk, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

Congrats Emsk!

― suzy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 17:33 (nineteen years ago)

Nice work emsk! Yay to kindly uncles! But are you reasonably bendy enough?

― The Wayward Johnny B, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

i am bloody bendy. i can put my foot behind my head.

― emsk, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

Ken C to thread?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

I had fun fun fun on the autobahn with the krautrock primer.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:05 (nineteen years ago)

Also. this hotel is fawlty towers crazy.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:05 (nineteen years ago)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

OMG SO MUCH FUN

totally different beast to the other bike... very very very wobbly for about 2 minutes but it gets easier FAST. raised the handlebars before i started because i could see trouble coming. stopped halfway home to raise the seat a bit and it got easier again. i am gonna hafta become one of them bum-in-the-air cyclers, haha. ok, how am i gonna get used to my gears being by my KNEES? and there being 3 positions for your hands to be but only one of them has brakes? on a left turn i do every day on my way home i automatically squeezed my hands to brake as i turned (not a busy road and it's one-way anyway but there are often people in cars stopped in the middle of the road to chat/fight/gossip/flirt/buy drugz/whatever) and they closed on THIN AIR ARGH ARGH! there was nothing in the road but a cat so it was ok. (i did not run over the cat.) now i am making carrot soup and drinking wine.

― emsk, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

Welcome to proper cycling.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

there are at least 4 positions on drop bars which is great for long rides as you can vary and save your back. I have a long back so spend as much time as possible leaning on the horns.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i wondered about the horns! they look like a good place to lean where the brakes are still, like, where they're meant to be (by your FINGERS). but pls explain this gears thing. every time i try to change gear my knee hits my hand out the way!

― emsk, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

Norman to thread?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:57 (nineteen years ago)

Haven't had downtube shifters in a long while, I have had bar ends on two bikes and the latest has shifter integrated with the break levers. Answer: you'll get used to it.

Anyone know if a bass can be set up with GDAE Mandolin/violin style tuning? I presume it's just a matter of string weights?

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

Answer: you'll get used to it.

yeah, that's what i figured. am *really* looking forward to saturday now! where are we going again? i want to check for weather. to see if there will be any.

― emsk, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

Kent, I forget exactly where.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

You must take photos so I can enjoy it from a distance.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:08 (nineteen years ago)

Kate - any news from the Brixton venue yet?

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 09:58 (nineteen years ago)

Morning people.

― Forest Pines, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 10:08 (nineteen years ago)

Morning all.

Emsk's cycling shenanigans sound huge fun!

― C J, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 10:11 (nineteen years ago)

Hello from belgium.

David K seems to have come up trumps for me. Should get pickup tamburlin this week.

― Ed, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 10:25 (nineteen years ago)

Hurrah for cycling!

Ed, I don't know about setting up a bass like that, but I presume you can if you find the right weight strings - you might be better with a tenor guitar (Danelectro do a lovely one) - it would be a v. v. v. good idea.

If you are enjoying KateKrautrockSampler, I will make you another volume with the longer songs on it. Perfect for driving, jah? Just remember to get off the autobahn when you get to Belgium and not keep going all the way to Dusseldorf.

Also, how is April for megalith visiting? FMM wants to do it some time near our birthdays.

And yes! ILX Festival confirmed at the Windmill. Excellent!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

::boucey bounce::

Damn, Dr. C must be in his job meeting thing.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 10:47 (nineteen years ago)

Waaaah, aint' no more of this...

Megalith visiting sounds fun. Shame there aren't any decent megaliths at all near me, just unexcavated barrows.

― Forest Pines, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 11:09 (nineteen years ago)

Oh great - ILX gig is on. Thx Kate.

Job meeting part 1 is over and adjourned until later. Going well so far.

Kate - are you at all interested in playing bass for The Fallen Leaves? They are the bunch that are headlining on Saturday. They have had a few different ones over the years (including a couple of quite well-known people) and have a stand-in right now. They asked me if I knew anyone, and I thought of you. They don't play very often - it might be a fun part time gig. Just a thought.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

Yay to all of that, can we get you camping?

Do we take the small (free) volvo or hire something bigger?

Who wants to come?

I did some more research and it should be possible using the f# strings from a 5 string. I am having mandodobro bassbeast fantasies, but not till later this year.
